Manufactured in glass to match the original pressing, it fits the way the panel it replaces once did — without the rust, dents or filler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToyota Land Cruiser FJ45\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eYears\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1960–1984\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePanel type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSYC-TY65-08(GL)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupplied ready for prep and paint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eInstallation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy to Moderate — approx. 30–90 minutes per pane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWelding required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo — bolt-on \/ transfer fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis glass fits the \u003cstrong\u003eToyota Land Cruiser FJ45\u003c\/strong\u003e, model years \u003cstrong\u003e1960–1984\u003c\/strong\u003e. FJ45 cab panels differ from FJ40 items behind the doors — always confirm whether a panel is 40-specific, 45-specific or shared across the 40-Series before ordering. Bed and back-panel parts are FJ45-only. Match your build year, as pressings changed across the long production run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with any reproduction panel, trial-fit against the vehicle before final welding or paint. Minor adjustment at flanges and mounting points is a normal part of professional panel fitting, even with precision replica pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe maths of new steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRestorers rarely regret buying a new panel; they regret the three weekends spent trying to save an old one first. Repairing a corroded glass means paying for blasting, fabrication time and filler — and the result is still fifty-year-old metal. A replica pressing costs a known amount, arrives straight, and spares a donor vehicle from being cut up for parts. Your original panel can stay with the vehicle for provenance; your build gets metal you can trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 is the long-wheelbase, load-carrying member of the 40-Series family, built from 1960 through the mid-1980s as a pickup, cab-chassis and troop-carrier. It shares its front clip, windscreen frame and much of its cab structure with the FJ40, but adds a longer frame, a dedicated steel truck bed and unique rear cab panels. FJ45s worked even harder than their short-wheelbase brothers — most spent their lives on farms and stations — so straight, rust-free original examples are now genuinely rare, and values for well-restored trucks have climbed sharply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FJ45's trouble spots mirror the FJ40's, with the addition of the truck bed itself: bed floors, bed fenders, tailgates and the lower back panel of the cab all trap moisture and rot from the inside out. Reproduction cab and bed panels stamped to the original profiles let restorers replace entire corroded structures instead of forming patch sections by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy to Moderate  |  \u003cstrong\u003eTypical time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30–90 minutes per pane  |  \u003cstrong\u003eWelding required:\u003c\/strong\u003e no.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit glass with new seals every time — hardened original rubber is why the old glass leaked.

The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 commonly rusts in the cab back panel, bed floor and bed fenders, tailgate, sills, floors and lower corners, and this replica pressing replaces corroded original metal with new glass — no donor vehicle required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you ship this internationally?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
